How to create a New User in the Tax Authority Portal

Creating a New User in the User Management Page on the Tax Authority (AT) Portal

You can create a user with restricted permissions in just three steps. In this guide, you will see step by step how to do it. As a result of creating the user, you will receive a digital number for the new user. This digital number and the password you set for the new user can be shared with FIZ to connect to the Tax Authority and start issuing invoices.

If you do not have access to the Portal das Finanças, refer to ACCESS TO THE PORTAL DAS FINANÇAS – AUTHENTICATION AND PASSWORDS.
